What to Know About the Coffee Maker
Power Profile
Running load: 1600 W. Surge: 1600 W. Voltage: 120 V AC. Resistive heating element draws constant current during brew cycle with no inrush spike.
Real-World Usage
Daily usage of 0.5 hours consumes approximately 800 Wh. Heating phase dominates power draw until brewing completes.
Pro Tip
Ensure power station can sustain 1600 W continuous output. Brief voltage sag under load may extend brew time.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many power stations can run a Coffee Maker?
Out of 33 portable power stations we tested, 21 can safely run a Coffee Maker (21 with full safety margin, 0 at tight margin). 12 are incompatible.
What specs should I look for to run a Coffee Maker?
Your power station needs at least 1,600W continuous output and 1,600W surge capacity. We recommend a safety buffer of 10% above these minimums for reliable operation.
How do we test compatibility?
Every pairing is evaluated using our True Surge protocol: we compare OEM-verified running watts, surge watts, and voltage requirements against each power station's published specs, with load-profile-specific safety buffers applied. Read our full methodology.
Can I run this coffee maker on a portable power station?
Only if your power source can supply at least 1600W continuous and 1600W surge at 120V.
